This top-floor two-bedroom apartment at Barberry Court offers straightforward, affordable entry into Barnsley with no onward chain and a long lease of 161 years. The open-plan living/kitchen with Juliet balcony brings natural light and usable space across an average-sized 829 sq ft layout, suitable for everyday living or rental use. Allocated off-street parking and fast broadband add practical convenience.
The flat is in contemporary brick-block accommodation with double glazing and gas central heating via a boiler and radiators. The living/kitchen area is functional but shows dated finishes—striped wallpaper, black tiles and wood cabinets—which offer clear scope for cosmetic refurbishment to increase comfort or capital value.
Buyers should note the property sits in a deprived area with higher-than-average local crime levels; the local classification indicates constrained renters nearby. Council tax is very low (Band A), and there is no flood risk. These factors make the apartment attractive to cost-conscious first-time buyers and some investors, but those prioritising a quieter, lower-crime neighbourhood may wish to view elsewhere.
Overall this is a practical, affordable apartment requiring light to moderate updating. With a long lease and no chain, it is ready for a buyer who wants a straightforward purchase to personalise or let out quickly.
